if jesus came to your house

If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two
If he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you’d do.

Ohh I know! You’ll give your nicest room to such an honor guest, and you keep assuring him you’re glad to have him there. That serving him in your home is your joy beyond compare.

But when you saw him coming would you meet him at the door, with arms out stretch in welcome to your heavenly visitors?
Or would you have to change your clothes before you let him in?
Or hide some magazines and put your missals were they have been?
Would you turn off the t.v., and hope he hadn’t heard?
And wish you hadn’t uttered the last, loud, hasty word?
Would you hide your wordy music and put some hymn word?
Could you let Jesus walk right in? Or would you rush about?

And I wonder if the savior spent a day or two on you.
Would you go right on doing the things you always do?
Would you go right on saying the things you always say?
Would life for you continue as it does from day to day?
Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace?
And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace?
Would you sing the song you always sing, and read the books you always read?
And let him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you’d planned to go?
Or would you maybe change your plans from just a day or two?
Would you be glad to have him meet your closest friend?
Or would you hope they’d stay away, until his visit ends?
Would you be glad to have him stay forever?
Or would you sigh with great relief, when he at last was gone?

It might be interesting to know the things that you would do if Jesus came in person to spend some time with you
